Privacy Policy

1. Information We Do Not Collect (Text & Documents)

Unlike conventional web applications that process string manipulation and format conversion on cloud-hosted backends, ZapTextCleaner does not operate backend application servers for text processing:

• No Clipboard Logging: Any text pasted into the input editors never leaves your browser sandbox.
• No Server-Side File Storage: We do not operate databases, S3 storage buckets, or log files that retain user-submitted content.
• No Model Training: Your input data is never used to train machine learning models, statistical datasets, or artificial intelligence systems.
• Instant Eviction: Refreshing or closing your browser tab immediately flushes all submitted text from your system's temporary memory (RAM).

2. Technical Architecture & Local Execution

All core functionalities across our tool suites—including whitespace normalization, HTML entity decoding, line wrap stripping, and regex formatting—are implemented using native JavaScript APIs (such as DOMParser, String.prototype.replace(), and the Clipboard API). Execution occurs locally in your web browser engine (V8, SpiderMonkey, or WebKit) without firing asynchronous HTTP POST payloads.

3. Web Analytics & Advertising

To evaluate website traffic patterns, ensure cross-browser compatibility, and sustain site hosting costs, ZapTextCleaner uses third-party analytics and advertising networks:

Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

We use Google Analytics (measurement ID: G-7TP5H35738) to gather aggregated, anonymized metric information. This includes browser user agent, device operating system, general geographic location (country/city level), referral pages, and session duration. Google Analytics does not capture, read, or track the contents of your text input fields or conversion outputs.

Google AdSense

We display third-party advertisements served by Google AdSense (publisher ID: ca-pub-9973919593816896). Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers, or web beacons to display personalized or non-personalized ads based on prior visits to this website or other sites across the web. You can manage or opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

ZapTextCleaner does not require user accounts, passwords, or personal profile registrations. We do not set first-party tracking cookies. Third-party advertising partners and analytics services may set standard operational cookies to measure ad impressions and site engagement according to their independent privacy standards.

5. GDPR and CCPA Compliance

Under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

• Because user text data is processed exclusively on the client side, ZapTextCleaner never acts as a Data Processor or Data Controller for the contents of your copied documents.
• We hold no personally identifiable records, customer contact databases, or archived document streams.
• Users hold sole custody and control of their text data throughout the entire editing session.

6. External Links

Our website may provide reference hyperlinks to third-party tools, specifications, or repositories. We hold no responsibility for the content, privacy protocols, or practices of external websites. We encourage users to inspect third-party policies directly upon navigation.

7. Policy Amendments

We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect architectural changes or regulatory updates. Any modifications will be posted directly to this URL with a revised effective date.
